Hello.
I rooted my Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro yesterday and all went smoothly, working perfect. I installed a few different Custom ROM's just to try them out. Now i have the "2.1.1.Clean.0.0" ROM installed and i'm very satisfied with it. Only problem is, my phone isn't rooted anymore.
I tried re-rooting it with SuperOneClick, which i used to root in the first place. But it isn't working anymore. Then i tried installed z4root on my phone and tried Permanent Root, but it just keeps "working" a little bit, until the App closes.
What should i do?
I used this guide to root my phone yesterday: omni-medical.co.uk/articles.php?article_id=4
I would really like to re-root my phone if possible.
Bump.. Anyone?

He could either mean Xrecovery or ClockworkMod recovery (doesn't really matter in this case). All you need to do is to flash superuser (flashable zip attached) and you'll be on your way.

Thanks a lot. It seems to work!

[SOLVED]
I started the procces to flash in a custom rom, but being very careful, I proceed step by step, reading a lot in the forum.
First I rooted my X10 : I chose Z4root method, because it can be done without a PC, it comes with temporary root and unroot option. I know it work, because I can use apps that require root (easytether for instance).
Then I installed xRecovery. I could boot in xRecovery (though I had to make a couple restart before succeeding) and I made a backup.
Finally I rode a lot on different rom. It took me a long time and many days ellapsed since my xRecovery backup, so when I finally made up my mind, a new backup is required.
And then come my problem : I can't boot in xRecovery anymore.
I know I have to press 'back' several time 'just after SE label'. Well, when I boot my phone I first get a SE label, then an animation and a new SE label (with image logo). I tried to press 'back' many time at both two SE label, then press and hold, even tried the 'home' button. I never boot in xRecovery.
As I am a bit paranoid, I don't let my phone rooted when not required. I reroot everytime I need it. And of course I did it before trying to boot in xRecovery. Could it be that I messed up xRecovery doing this ? I tried to reinstall xRecovery, but obviously it does nothing (I have 'file already exist' message for each of the three 'cp commands).
I feel a bit dumb ending up asking for such a silly problem, but there must be something obvious I miss, and I can't find out what.
Thank you just for reading.
You have to press it a few times right after the very first SE logo appears.

Well I still can't boot in xRecovery whatever I do. I press many time 'back' just after first SE label but I get nothing but normal boot. I guess smething is messed up with xRecovery. I'd like to reinstall it, so I first need to have a way of uninstalling it.
Thank you anyway.
Hmm have You checked busybox? Try to uninstall xRecovery and busybox, and do a clean install of these apps. Should work.
Install xRecovery with FlashTool, it's easyer !!
umm reinstall busybox, maybe a different version if you must, and then reinstall xrecovery. tada

You would have to keep root on all the time instead of temporary root.

Many thanks. I reinstalled busybox and then xRecovery and now it works. Great.

Yes of course. When I want to use xRecovery, I need a permanent root (that's what I did). I only unroot when done and use temporary root only for tethering.
Thank you for your help.
Busibox. It was obvious. I should have found out myself...
Why wouldn't you just leave the phone rooted? really doesn't make any sense and means you can't use root apps. Rooting your phone does nothing to void your warranty and without the bootloader being unlocked there is nothing you could do to mess it up that couldn't be fixed by simply reflashing.

I am a paranoid Linux User. root sounds dangerous to me. There's no objective reason except that.

I firmly re-assure you, that rooting is NOT dangerous. All you need to do is connect to flashtool and click root. Also, lets say IF you screw up. just download the tft firmware file, no problem. As good as new.

when I clicked flash clockwork, it shows LT26i but then says it doesn't officially support clockwork, so I assume it doesn't at the moment. I did notice a Xperia cwm auto-installer on the market I think I'll read up and see if anyone knows if that works
Dont you need to unlock the boot loader first and also get root before installing CWM?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew a method to unroot the phone. You see, I rooted it thinking I would probably use it for a while. However.....turns out it has a hardware defect. While discharging, the phone will randomly shut off during long periods of inactivity.
So I need to turn it in to LG for warranty repair. But I've already factory reset the phone and SuperSU is still there. I've tried using the built-in removal for SuperSU and it's still there. I've tried using Root & Restore, it cannot find the device, so it's still there.
Anyone know a method to remove it before I turn it in? Or would it be ok to turn it in with SuperSU installed/disabled?

I would send as is. It will be reflashed anyway. Rooting doesn't affect hardware.
Did you use this method to root? Because you you should be able to unroot it as well.

Thanks, you're probably right. I just didn't want them to flat out deny it based upon SuperSU being there.

Tried, no luck. Though it probably doesn't help that I had some odd problems while rooting.....yet it still worked. I forget what exactly happened though.
1) Backup all apps and data in LG PC Suite.
2) Format internal memory from CWM. Hard Reset the Phone and Flash any latest official KDZ.
And you are back to fresh factory stock.
3) Restore apps and data with LG PC Suite if you wish.

When you flash unrooted KDZ, it wipes out recovery (cwm) with no trace. At least this happens on our P765 , P760.

Recently I came back from PAC to my previously made V20B stock ROM backup and tried to update it, but CWM interfered with stock recovery and my phone stuck in recovery bootloop. Now I have it fixed, but, since we have the awesome root method via CWM rom manager, it would be nice to have full OTA functionality, as there would be no reason to connect the phone to computer. So if I removed CWM, then the update would work (with unrooted phone, of course)? If yes, how to do that?

By the way, for others that have the same problem, I got out of bootloop by updating my phone with LG support tool (BC2App) to V20D.

lolz. clicked thanks button by mistake for query.
Reflash plain stock V20B kdz with offline fix method, CWM and Root(su) both will be wiped. Data and apps will remain as it is. Do not forget to backup first.
I really like that offline fix method, but still, it would be nice to have it done from the phone side, without a PC

If wishes were "always" a horses. If few things are possible then possible, others are not. BTW Superuser can be removed from phone, but at the moment, about cwm on L9, there is no known method. You can wait to see if something comes up.
I was messing around and had a soft brick so I odin'd back to stock rom and got everything running and got root up and running. No matter how I do it I can NOT get a custom recovery to install. I tried Goo Manager which never actually downloads the file. I found the .tar file to install manually via Odin and it says it fails. I even tried clockwork mod to install clockwork recovery and it just boots me to the stock recovery. Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this?

Yeah it basically says once you have root access you can use Goo Manger or Clockwork Mod to install the pre Loki'd recovery. Neither one of those 2 work though it just says it does and then takes me back to the stock recovery.

Yeah I did all the steps up until the actual recovery isn't installed. Goo Manger won't download anything at all but Clockwork Mod does and it says my recovery is set at either clockwork or twrp (which ever I pick) but when I boot into recovery its still just the stock one...

Install the all in one root and recovery tool for mdk...since you are already rooted you can skip that step...select the prep for recovery option...it will clean up and get rid of things that interfere with custom recovery and then select install either oudhs or twrp...these will allow you to flash updated cwm/twrp versions which I recommend to ensure proper flashing of newer roms...once one of these is installed you can always use rom manager or goo manager or the others to update...but I believe the prep for recovery step is crucial in having a functional custom recovery

I agree. Where can I find the all in one root and recovery tool for MDK?
Why dont you try to look for custom recovery thats suits your device manually and flash it using recovery tool app. You can get it in playstore

Our devices are quirky... Some will do just fine just randomly flashing recovery...others just won't behave without going through the prep for recovery step...I know I flashed stock with Odin once before rooted again and had the same problems getting custom recovery setup...used the same steps to fix it then too...I would recommend these for anyone having issues with recovery install
